Why are hypertensive patients not advised to exercise in the morning? Listen to the doctor's analysis, you will understand!

For patients who have been diagnosed with hypertension, doctors often give a comprehensive treatment plan, which includes three parts: active control of medication, changes in eating habits, and exercise.

　　The reason why hypertensive patients are advised to exercise is because during the exercise process, it can improve cardiopulmonary function, dilate blood vessels, and then play a role in lowering blood pressure.

　　Affected by work factors, many hypertensive patients are accustomed to various physical exercises after getting up in the morning. However, according to the current clinical data, in fact, many hypertensive patients, especially older hypertensive patients, are not suitable for exercising in the morning. Sudden risk of cerebrovascular disease.

　　So the question is, it is obvious that exercise is good for the body, why can't you exercise in the morning?

　　First of all, after a person enters a sleep state, the movement of various organs in the body will slow down and be in an extremely quiet state. At this time, the human body is mainly regulated by the vagus nerve, and the heart rate gradually slows down. At around 3:00 in the morning, the blood pressure is at the lowest state of the day .

　　However, it is not the same after waking up. After waking up, the sympathetic nerve is in the stage of increased excitability , and the renin-angiotensin system will be rapidly activated , resulting in faster heartbeat and higher blood pressure;

　　In fact, not only hypertensive patients, but even healthy adults, around 6-10 am after getting up in the morning, the blood pressure will tend to increase compared to usual .

　　However, no matter how the blood pressure fluctuates in healthy people, it is within the normal high value range, but it is not the same in hypertensive patients, the blood pressure rises significantly, or even exceeds the usual blood pressure level.

　　Moreover, if it is a hypertensive patient who is older and has been ill for a long time, affected by the continuous increase of age and vascular aging , coupled with the repeated effects of the disease, it is often easy to combine with atherosclerosis , resulting in poor arterial elasticity .

　　In some patients, blood vessels cannot be adaptively adjusted according to physical changes. When the heart rate increases and blood pressure increases, the blood vessels cannot be effectively expanded, which will further aggravate blood pressure changes and lead to early morning hypertension symptoms.

　　At this time, if the patient gets up immediately without rest, he starts various sports, especially strenuous physical exercise, which often increases the burden of the heart pumping blood. At the same time, the blood vessels on the surface of the body expand, causing a large amount of blood to flow to the body surface, and the brain tissue is in a state of ischemia and oxygen, which will bury hidden dangers for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , and even cause sudden onset of cerebral infarction and myocardial infarction.

　　In addition, it is now spring. Although the temperature has a trend of warming, the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large , and many areas in the north are still in a state of minus zero in the morning.

　　The blood vessels are actually very sensitive to temperature changes. If you get up too early in the morning to exercise, and suddenly go from a warm indoor to a cold outdoor, the blood vessels will spasm and contract , which will not only lead to increased blood pressure. Once the plaque in the blood vessel falls off due to spasm and forms a thrombus, it may lead to the sudden onset of infarcted cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

　　Therefore, for many reasons, early morning is not the best time to exercise for hypertensive patients. If a person with high blood pressure wants to exercise, it is best to choose a time after the sun rises and the blood pressure gradually stabilizes.

　　And hypertensive patients themselves are not suitable for strenuous physical exercise, so the exercise program after waking up in the morning should be mainly of soothing types, such as Tai Chi, yoga, brisk walking, etc. cause excessive physical burden.
